I sure appreciate all the comments.
Dragn, yes I do have a great support system. I feel so fortunate about that. I have one week to psyche myself up for this but I feel positive about it. Just want to get it done and get on the road to recovery!

Jeanie, this is great - the best possible bad scenario. It sounds like this will all be over very soon, such good news!!
I guess you will have to learn to breathe again? But I don't think that ultimately that will limit you.
My dissertation advisor had some kind of serious lung problem as a child and had abouot 80% of one lung removed. He still did a lot of running, and as an adult ran in ~ 40-50 marathons. Without 2 whole lungs!!
So sending out MOJO to help you through this surgery and your recovery.

Whew! Some pain, a lot of boredom, then cancer-free - not as good as being cancer-free without surgery, but it looks like the best possible outcome.
I'll be thinking of you and sending mojo.

ZenMum, reading my surgery book given to me by surgeon last week, there is therapy involved during and after healing from surgery. I WILL take advantage of everything they have to offer. Not skipping anything.

Mojo and positive thoughts to envelope you through surgery, recovery and therapy. The book your surgeon gave you sounds like a great resource to know what to expect and what to do to help yourself.

Yeah -- about that book. It also has color photos that shows what will happen to me during surgery. 
I just have to keep telling myself that surgeons do this every day and they know what they are doing.
I told my daughter she might have to chase me down when she takes me to the hospital at 5 a.m. next Wednesday morning. I just might decide to make a run for it, after I saw those photos.

When I had my c-section, I was worried that maybe the epidural hadn't taken effect because I had a kind of "rummaging" sensation in my abdomen. My H glanced over the drape as the doctor said, "Oh, don't worry, you'd be very upset with me right now if it hadn't." Apparently, due to my scarring from prior surgery, I was partly disassembled with internal organs sitting on top of me. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!

I heard on the radio today that Amgen just got a new drug approved by the FDA today for lung cancer. They didn't say what kind of lung cancer (and really, I don't know what kind yours is), but it's always encouraging to hear that new drugs are being approved!
